Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by John Clark (Monday), Brendan Rielly (Tuesday), Chris Holm (Wednesday), Dorothy Cannell (Thursday), and Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Friday).

In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:

Kate Flora, Lea Wait and Dorothy Cannell will be speaking at the Golden Harvest Grange (928 Main Road, Carmel, Maine,) on Thursday evening, August 18, at 6.p.m.  Their program, “Death and Desserts”, will be sponsored by the Simpson Memorial Library in Carmel.

Lea Wait‘s books will be at Arts and Yachts: the Boothbay Region Boatyard Show and Sale: A Lincoln Arts Festival held Thursday, August 18, from 6-7 p.m.; Friday, August 19 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., Saturday, August 30, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., and Sunday, August 21 from 10-4 p.m.  Lea will be at the show, which will be held at the Hodgdon Shipyard in Southport, Maine, all day Saturday, and will stop in at other times.

This coming Wednesday, Kate Flora and Roger Guay will be guests on Maine Calling, and Wednesday at six they will be at Sherman’s on Exchange Street at six, signing copies of A Good Man with a Dog.

Also, it’s time for another author give-away–a gift bag full of books and Maine goodies, so keep those comments coming, friends. You can’t win the bag if you don’t.
